In eastern DRC, Uvira still waiting for peace promised by Donald Trump: ‘we are on borrowed time’

In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the town of Uvira remains trapped in a cycle of uncertainty. Residents use the phrase “we are on borrowed time” to describe their daily reality as they continue to wait for the peace promised by former US President Donald Trump. The conflict involving the AFC/M23 group, with regional implications tied to leaders like Paul Kagame and Félix Tshisekedi, shows no signs of resolution. For the people of Uvira, the hope for stability still feels distant.
